Catelyn did, however, feel someone lifting her while she was still in a daze.She then felt someone cutting the sleeve off, and the wound on her arm burned in pain as the fabric grazed over it."Mmph!" Catelyn moaned faintly in pain as she frowned subconsciously. Her pale face was scrunched in agony, and her pale lips pursed tightly.Cedrick, with Catelyn still in his arms, straightened his back when he heard her pained moan and shot the female doctor, who was cleaning her wound, a sharp glare. "Didn't you hear that? Can't you be more gentle?" he growled.The doctor shuddered and almost spilled all of the iodine on Catelyn's wound.The air in the room felt stifling and ominous.The doctor knew that if Catelyn moaned again, Cedrick would throw her out of the window without a doubt. She thus squeezed out a smile as she said to Cedrick, "The wound had been left to bleed for a while, and the fabric was stuck on her wound, so we have to pull it off."Cedrick looked away as he saw no

Well, things did escalate before her. She did allow the driver to run into Catelyn."Fine. You want an explanation, no? I'll give you one.""All I need is a word from you, Granny Atherton. I'll investigate the rest myself."Cedrick's eyes were cold and stern. All he wanted was Granny Atherton's agreement.…Catelyn woke up to the smell of faint disinfectant. She forcibly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was a clean white ceiling.Her brain was still foggy at this point.She stared at the ceiling for a while before she stared at her surroundings. A bag of intravenous drip was hung by the bed frame, sending fluids down the line and into her body.The last thing she remembered was Edwin running toward her and shielding her with his body.She faintly remembered the Athertons' car running over her.Catelyn tried moving her body and realized that her left hand was held tightly by another hand.She traced the hand only to find Cedrick sitting on a chair in front of the

Granny Atherton fell deep into a memory lane, struggling to pull herself back out.Knock, knock!Someone knocked at the door, and it brought Granny Atherton back to reality as she blinked away her tears."Come in," she replied.Kelly walked in with what seemed like a secretive folder. "Old Madam, here's the draft by Miss Catelyn that you asked for."Granny Atherton put the photos aside cautiously and accepted the folder. She had only planned on scanning through, but her eyes were glued onto it.It was a dark, edgy design of a ring.With a bright red rose with silver-black skulls as its pistils, the contrast between the red and white was strong and edgy.It brought Granny Atherton back in the day when Summer, her daughter, was in her twenties and how she liked all sorts of jewelry.She even promised herself that she would head toward a different path and design a series of edgy jewelry.The skull signified power as well as war, death, and the devil. A red rose, on the other ha

"Why are you still scolding me? Look at me now! How do you justify bullying a lady in such a situation? Also, how am I supposed to know that Lola would put laxatives into the water bottle? If I knew I wouldn't even drink it!"Cedrick did not expect her to spew all of that through harshly gritted teeth when she was still physically weak.He was satisfied with her progress in recovery and brushed her hair with his fingers, smirking. "Is that all? Seeing as you're being such a good girl, I have a reward for you."Cedrick placed his forehead on hers and growled endearingly, "A kiss from me. Do you like it?""..."No. Not at all.At that moment, the door was pushed open from outside.Joanne rushed to the hospital with some hot soup in her hands. "Cat, I heard that you got admitted into the hospital because of diarrhea, so I bought—"The moment she pushed the door open, the first thing she saw was a man with his back facing the door and his upper body on top of Catelyn's. His arm cra

"Joanne Winters, our friendship ends now if you don't shut your mouth."Joanne merely grinned impishly in return, and it was evident she would not stop talking."Is your tiny body able to take on Cedrick? Look at the size of his body! Should I buy some medicine that encourages early ejaculation? Better not, though—it's not good for him to take them."Catelyn was mystified by her behavior. She chose to ignore it altogether as she covered her ears and laid back in bed.…The next day, Catelyn received a text from Cedrick the moment the sun rose.He told her that he would be bringing her breakfast and ordered her to not eat anything else before that.Catelyn felt oddly pleased.Cedrick had started treating her better every day.He was thoughtful and took good care of her while she, on the other side, was unable to give back to him.The doorknob twisted open.Catelyn thought it was Cedrick who had come bearing breakfast, but it was actually…An unwelcomed guest, Lola Atherton.
